Years ago PUC used to do preventative maintenance on their equipment and we had one or two power failures per year, usually during storms. Now they wait for the equipment to fail before replacing it (saves money for new buildings and severance packages). Can you imagine what would happen if the airline companies adopted the same practices.

Times have changed. Ever consider that the loads on these breakers have increased because of demand increase? How about increase in labour and insurance costs? It's less expensive to take a reactive approach rather than routine "Preventive Maintenance" on some components that are an easy and quick fix.

Did you ever think that the PUC is losing money everytime there is an outage?

People use more electricity now than ever before. All these complaints about the new building are getting old. Give it a rest.

Hey stevie...EXACTLY times have changed..perhaps the PUC should keep up with it....They are a joke, constantly raising our rates, changing our water to a swimming pool...With the amount of money I pay for PUC...my lights had better not even flicker!

If you have any information leading to the cause of the outage or other concerns please call the PUC emergency number at 759-6555.Seriously,you want us to tell you what the cause was????Don`t you guys know??
